Our server was friendly and thorough throughout the time we were there, and he did a great job ensuring certain things came out allergen friendly! This restaurant offers bar seating and a decent amount of tables within the restaurant. I ordered a burger and it was delicious! It was absolutely massive, which I appreciated because I happily enjoyed the leftovers the following day! The gluten free bun was really yummy as well! Burger was cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and very juicy! The side salad was wonderful too! I also ordered a ginger beer, which was super delicious! Just all around, this was such a great experience and I'm excited to go back again!

So Mother's Day they're offering a brunch. Last year's was fantastic. This year they are asking you…read moreto pay ahead of time. But it's not unfundable. So what happens if there's a car accident? If there's traffic and you can't make it and you did leave enough time? What if somebody got sick and everybody has to cancel? What if the worst happens? So my day that we honor our mothers, if any of the above happen, you're out of more than $100 if there's 3 (approximately) of you? What if you're less one or two people? Are they charged? I guess it's a way to make money for the next big event at the Gibsonia location Come on give people a break. At least Disney only charges $10 per person, but you have to cancel within 24 hours to avoid that fee. Rating is based on surcharging the customers

4.5 stars. Briquettas Charhouse & Cocktails is a local, family-owned barbecue restaurant that…read moreopened months ago. They serve lunch and dinner for dining in, takeout, and catering. (I read online that the owners are the same people who own Emiliano's.) My husband and I ate one dinner here. The seating hostess promptly greeted us and allowed us to choose to sit either indoors or on an outdoor patio. The menu listed appetizers (e.g., nachos and quesadilla), rotisserie chicken, pulled pork, brisket, pork ribs, beef ribs, sandwiches, tacos, salads, sides (e.g., street corn, collard greens, and tater tots), alcoholic beverages (e.g., cocktails, margaritas, and beers), and desserts (e.g., coconut key-lime pie). I wanted to try all of the meats, but our waitress said that they do not offer a sampler platter, which I think should be added to the menu. Here are my ratings for what we ordered: Smoked Wings - 4.5 stars - Nicely crispy skin, fantastic seasoning, and juicy meat. With ranch and bleu cheese dips and celery. Small amount of feathers. Single Dino Bone - 4.5 stars - Huge size, smoked low and slow over hardwood. Tender with smoky flavor, but could have been a bit juicier. Brisket Stack - 5 stars - Sandwich with chopped brisket, pickles, and red-pickled onions. Charhouse Pulled-pork Tacos - 4.5 stars - Flavorful pulled pork in corn tortillas. The meat was juicy but did NOT cause the tacos to drip or be soggy. With Tennessee slaw and margarita sauce. Mac and Cheese - 5 stars - Nicely cooked noodles with rich, gooey cheese. Cornbread Muffins - 4.5 stars - Several small muffins with a sweet flavor. Coleslaw - 3 stars - OK, needs more dressing for more flavor. Sweet Baked Beans - 4.5 stars - Spicy rather than sweet but still tasty. Money-saving tip: Sign up for their VIP club. I signed up and received a $10 coupon, but I unfortunately forgot to use it. For these foods plus one soda and a credit-card processing fee, I paid $77 plus a tip.

I had 6 Smokey Habanero BBQ and 6 Sweet & Spicy and my son opted for a dozen Spicy Pepper Dry Rub. DELICIOUS... SERVICE: Was fast friendly & efficient AMBIANCE: NOT a great place for a quiet date night as this place is large, open and very little sound deadening 'material' to keep things quiet. Not an issue for me, but I'm just suggesting that if you're looking for 'intimate' I'd go elsewhere...

My partner and I used to love going here or getting takeout when we were nearby. The food was…read morealways amazing, we usually got burgers or wraps, and the fresh cut fries were excellent. They were probably my favorite restaurant fries around. We came in to eat on our way back from Hartwood Acres, and wow, the fall from grace was pretty obvious from the start. It's been about a year since we last dined in here, and slightly more recently for takeout. The server, when she did finally come over to greet us, was very pushy about upsells and visibly disappointed when we weren't going for drinks or appetizers. She only stopped at the table twice before delivering our check; a runner dropped off our food and the server didn't check on us until we were basically done eating and I needed a box. I felt like she was one step away from rolling our eyes at us for getting water and (gasp) no dessert. As a former server myself I usually tip pretty generously, between 20% and 25% for average to good service, but this was an exception. She was borderline rude. But the service wasn't even the most disappointing part. They did away with the fresh cut fries and gave us some sad generic frozen ones. They were fine but they were nothing to write home about. Those fresh cut fries would be in my dreams once in awhile they were so good. To replace them with some Ore Ida crap I could get from the grocery store was beyond disappointing. My husband's burger was visibly lower quality. It had more lettuce on it than meat. Those burgers used to be thick and fresh, and this just wasn't it. My go to at Dive, the salmon BLT wrap, was OK, but the sauce was distributed unevenly in it. One bite would be completely dry and the next was drowning. I'm just overall disappointed that the food isn't as good anymore. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I would happily pay 20% more to maintain the quality we had in past experiences than pay the same for what we got on our most recent visit. I don't think we'll be back unless they brought their original fries back.

We started with…read moretheir seasoned wings and had the sweet chili sauce on the side--excellent flavor and cooked perfectly. We also tried the Buffalo Chicken Pizza, which actually had french fries on top. It gave it a unique twist! The pizza itself was nicely done--crispy on the bottom with a crunchy crust. The only thing we would change is just a little less buffalo sauce, but overall it was very tasty. Our waitress, Grace, was fabulous. She took care of every need and checked on us often without ever being intrusive. Her service really made the visit even better. We're already planning to come back and try the barbecue pork pizza next time!

I got to try their fish and chips as well as the sticky toffee pudding. The fish and chips was okay. Really not much seasoning in the fish, though. Batter was solid, but some spots had disproportionate amounts of batter. The chips were also pretty bland and not as soft as I would have preferred them, but still fine. Decent portion. This might have been my first time trying sticky toffee pudding in the Burgh. Came with nice ice cream. It was also solid, and I like that they split up the hot and cold for the takeout. But it was also just lacking something. Not sure what exactly. The vibe inside seemed pretty cool. All in all, a solid spot. Probably a bit overpriced, but solid quality.

Foxhole Tavern is a local restaurant and bar that opened months ago and serves dinner…read more Its menu lists starters (e.g., oysters, shrimp cocktail, and surryano ham), salads, entrees (e.g., fish and chips, chicken parmesan, and steak frites au poivre), sides (e.g., Brussels sprouts and artichokes), desserts (e.g., sticky toffee pudding), and drinks (e.g., cocktails, wines, and beers). Through OpenTable, I made a reservation for my husband and me. Our seating hostess and our waiter promptly and politely served us. Please note that despite what OpenTable says, the dress code is actually pretty casual. The waiters were wearing jeans and t-shirts, as were many customers. Here are my ratings for what we ate: French Onion Soup - 4.5 stars - It could have used a little more gruyère cheese (I could NOT get a cheese pull), but the broth had a wonderfully rich flavor, and I liked the croutons. Sicilian Chicken Strips - 4 stars - The chicken was juicy, and the breading was crispy and spicy. The strips came with Calabrian ranch. Bucatini with Pesto and Shrimp - 3.5 stars - Four large, juicy shrimp were on top of a large bed of bucatini with a pesto sauce. A few cherry tomatoes were also included. My husband said that the pesto needed to be stronger. I thought that it tasted alright, and I ate some of it. Dry-aged Tavern Burger - 3.5 stars - Sesame bun was filled with a non-greasy beef patty that had a red-pink center, caramelized onion, special sauce, and American cheese. On the side were crispy, seasoned fries. My husband said that the burger was a bit plain, and he would prefer to add more toppings for flavor. He ate about half of the burger. The total price was $82 plus a tip.

Cesar salad was good, could have used a bit more dressing but that's just me. Clam chowder was tasty. Drinks were nice, I enjoyed their old fashioned. Service was top tier. The gentleman who waited on our party of 10 was excellent. Food and drinks came out quick as well. Overall, the food didn't blow me away, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service. Wouldn't mind stopping back in for another meal soon.

Downey's House provided the local spot I needed. An ice cold Yuengling on draft went down very well, and while I didn't find pierogis on the menu, I settled for a phenomenal bowl of spaghetti & meatballs. Local marinara & meatballs made with the same recipe of the old Main Hotel that was in Carnegie for nearly 100 years. That bowl of pasta was SCRUMPTIOUS and just what I was after. I even talked my lovely wife into doing up her salad 'Pittsburgh style', which means adorning the salad with fries. And yes, it's as good as it sounds. Thrown in a protein like grilled chicken and that is a banger of a meal. Great dining area with a square-shaped bar and TVs with sight-lines in any direction. The service is friendly and helpful, and prices are probably lower than at some chain-y eatery that just makes your food via assembly line. It's local and sensational!
